BROWN SUGA // LGBTQ+ History Month // Quee Kizomba
Calling Queer AUNTIES & our futures reimagined 🔥
Celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month with an elegant afternoon-to-evening queer social and dance experience, curated by queer Black and POC folx. Brown Suga is an intentional space that centres queer women, queer Global Majority, non-binary and trans folx, and their friends. We cultivate a welcoming, good-vibes-only environment where our community can meet, dance, and build lasting connections.
Hosted inside the beautiful, newly opened Sir Devonshire Square Hotel, this edition invites us to honour our past while stepping confidently into what’s next. Expect soft lighting, a stylish setting with access to outdoor space, food, room to move, and space to connect. Whether you’re dancing, talking, or meeting someone new, Brown Suga is a gathering shaped to mobilise our community and imagine new possibilities. This is why we are dedicating February to queer Aunties and our queer futures.
The afternoon opens with a Queer Kizomba dance class led by The Blacker The Berry Project, offering a welcoming introduction to sensual movement, Afro-diasporic music, and traditional dance. No partner or prior experience is required.
As the evening unfolds, DJ Roxxxan, DJ Joy, and DJ Miller Black will take over the room with a seamless blend of old-school, nostalgic 90s sounds, R&B, Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, Border-free music, Afro-Latin, Dancehall, and Soca, creating an atmosphere where conversation flows as easily as the music.
Whether you arrive with friends, partner(s), or on your own, you’re invited to our hosted mixer designed to make meeting others feel easy and natural.
